See you in Frankfurt

Jan had a good time in Frankfurt, but this third goalkeeper situation annoyed him more than anything, so he decided to leave for another Bundesliga club, to play a little more than the preseason games. Alex comes to see him before his departure, Jan is his friend and he likes to train with him, but he knows that his future is elsewhere, he must leave him behind to move forward.

"Zimbo, you could have stayed and show your talent later." Alex puts his hand on his shoulder

"I know, but I feel like I've wasted enough time here, I want to show myself elsewhere."

"Jan, you're my friend, so promise me we'll see you in Frankfurt again." Alex takes him in his arms, Jan pats him on the back, maybe he'll come back, it will depend on his situation, on how often he uses his gloves

"I promise you Alex."

Jan is cold, chills run through his flesh, and there is nothing he can do to calm himself, they will soon operate him and he is afraid that he won't be able to return to Munich 1860, to see his wife again, to keep his promise... His hands shiver even more at the idea of ​​leaving Alex alone in Frankfurt, it's out of question to die there before showing him everything he can do with his gloves. The gas puts him to sleep before he can stress even more...

Alex puts flowers on Zimbo's bedside table, several years without seeing each other and that was how they saw each other again... Alexander sits next to him and holds his hand in his, he waits for his awakening impatiently, Marco wanted to come with him but he made sure to be the only one to see his friend like that. Alex feels his heart tighten when he sees Jan's eyes blinking.

"Alex... Am I dead?"

"Not yet big guy, your wife is waiting for you at home."

''Why are you there?''

"Because you are my friend, because you promised me that we would see each other again in Frankfurt, because I didn't want to lose you again."

"Alex..."

"Sleep, big guy, I want to see you play with me one last time."

They are in 2018, in the final of the Pokal, Jan has been back for a year at home, near his birthplace, they won, and they're all celebrating together as if it was the only thing they knew how to do. Zimbo took a few minutes to be sure he wouldn't cry all the tears from his body, luckily Lukas was with him. He and Alex find themselves a little away from the team, Meier leaves Frankfurt now, he is a little sad but he knows his turn will soon follow.

"We came a long way from the hospital." Zimbo laughed as he watched Lukas run with the cup all over the field

"Yeah, those were great years."

"I will miss you Alex!"

"I will miss you too Zimbo, you were the best goalkeeper of my life and I won't forget you anytime soon." Jan isn't surprised to find himself in the arms of Alex, it's either a start or a end, but he is happy with the way their adventure took.

The End
